Answer:
Sam is right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Key skills needed: Fraction Modelling, Fraction Division
1) We are given this problem --> [tex]6[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
2) This means we need to find how many [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]'s are in 6.
3) There are 2 ways to approach this problem
1. The first way is via using the fractional division properties:
Let's say we are given a problem --> [tex]a[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{b}{c}[/tex]
This can be made into --> [tex]a[/tex] × [tex]\frac{c}{b}[/tex]
It is a simple property that should be remembered.
This means that [tex]6[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] is the same as [tex]6[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex] which is 24.
2. The second way is with using a model (which I am not very good with). The model way is the image I will post.
Hope you understand both ways and have a nice day!! :D
